ADDIS ABABA – The Ethiopian Youth Peace and Prosperity Mission League has planned to distribute 600 vehicles to empower and support the country’s youth.
League President Berhanu Bekele said that the organization would distribute the 600 Hyundai vehicles to youths as it has been encouraging young individuals to embrace entrepreneurship rather than merely seeking employment.
According to the President, the vehicles that the League received from partners in terms of donation worth 2.5 million birr each will be distributed equitably to all states and the two city administrations.
Notably, there has been a significant increase in the number of young people involved in the transportation sector, which has created favourable conditions for economic empowerment, he said.
The President also highlighted that the distribution process of the vehicles among the youth will follow specific criteria, including work interests, participation in charitable activities, a passion for entrepreneurship, and a sense of patriotism.
The organization is established with the primary objective of fostering enduring peace, promoting philanthropy, and facilitating the prosperity of Ethiopia’s youth, Berhanu noted.
In line with these goals, league has undertaken multifaceted initiatives throughout the country, including the planting of 30 million seedlings in collaboration with the Green Legacy Initiative, he mentioned.
Members of Berhanu’s League also have donated blood to the National Defence Forces, renovated homes for the underprivileged, and provided support to street children.
The President assured that the league remains committed to its on-going efforts and will continue to focus on the next steps.
